[gollem] Multi-User VFS SQL Sharing

Hi All,

I have searched through the archives, and I just don't see what I am  
looking for here.  Sorry if I am repeating a post.

I am using horde 3.1.5-cvs and gollem 1.0.4-cvs.

I also have the same problem with gollem 1.0.3 with horde 3.2-RC1 from  
Horde Groupware Webmail Edition... and various other versions of both.  
  It's the same issue.

Basically, I need the file storage to be sharable just like  
addressbooks, calendars, etc.

When the user logs in for the first time, I need it to create a home  
directory for that user and default into that home directory.  I also  
need the user to be able to go back to "root" and see a list of other  
users shared home directories.  My config below does everything  
correctly to that point.

However, things stop working after that.

When a file is uploaded (or when the user home directory is created),  
the "owner " field is not populated.  So, there is no ownership.   
Also, you cannot use CHMOD to change permissions.  When you check  
something and drop to chmod, the little chmod screen opens up.  But,  
none of the options are clickable.

I have tried this is many different browsers.

The current setup allows people to upload to their folders and go back  
to the root and view other people's folders.  But, it does not allow  
the changing of permissions.  So, everyone can always view everyone  
elses folders.  I had to change my config to make the "root" the  
user's home directory so that they could not see eachother's folders.   
But, that defeats half the purpose.

I also tried using the "permissions" section of the administration  
options.  But, this just seems to lock it down more.  It does not  
allow the end user to edit his own permissions through the interface.

So, I guess, I just need someone to tell me the correct way to configure this.

Thanks,

Dave
